Morning Prayer
 
Great Spirit, Mountain Ancestors, All My Relations,
Blessings be here today as
I come before you Honored One.
You have seen many sunrises and
sunsets upon your branches,
Your sacred roots have been
quenched by life giving rains.
 
 I give thanks to you,
...for the singing birds that you shelter
...for the music you sing in the breeze
...for listening to the voices of the creatures
...for echoing the ancestors strength
 
Respected One, I ask your permission and
humbly request your presence
for my guided purpose
as Great Spirit directs.
 
All things belong to you, Creator,
all things are sacred.
So this day I honor you 
and humbly Thank You.
